That is why I encourage everyone to use email notifications and even added a feature to pull update URLs from email for you.
This sort of thing has been discussed more than once in the past.
I provide a few features to make life a little easier for those who want to poll for updates instead of use notifications. But I hesitate reluctantly over each one because I honestly believe that is the wrong way to maintain a fanfiction library.
I have implemented the last-touch datetime feature you requested. (You posted immediately after I announced it, so you have missed it.)
I did that much partly because I can see the point that mass-update people may do smaller updates, partly because I thought was a somewhat-interesting-yet-easy change, and mostly because I didn't have anything better to do today.
So I encourage you take it as a victory that you got last-touch, rather than a defeat that I'm saying 'no' to the rest.
